Intro: Em-Bm-C-Bm- x2 


verse 1: 
Em 
Save a song for 
me to sing boy  
if I wanna play a 
       C 
song tonight oh oh 
Em 
Is there something 
I could wail out 
if I wanna wail 
         C 
by candlelight? oh oh 
            Em 
I'm feeling sick 
            Bm 
I'm feeling old 
            Em  D 
I'm feeling weak 
             C 
I feel that snow 
           Em 
Down in my knees 
           Bm 
Down in my soul 
            Em  D 
In place of guts 
           C 
I've got a hole 
     D         Em 
Like everybody else 
          C 
I've ever known 




[Refrão]
Em 
Baby this ain't 
D 
home to me 
   C 
no matter what 
     G 
they say 
    Em 
The grass is too 
     D 
damn green here 
        C 
and the hearts 
             G 
are dull and grey 
           G 
So take me down 
        Bm 
to that city 
          Em 
where the girls 
           C 
just look okay 
      C 
It's about all 
      D 
I can take it 
I've stood too 
            G    D C D G D C D 
long in one place 


verse 2: 
Em 
  Strap me to the station 
wagon roof and drive 
                C 
me out into the hills 
   Em 
It may sound like I'm 
screaming from the car 
but I'm just screaming 
     C 
from the thrill I'm 
    Em            Bm 
so alive I'm so afraid 
               Em 
That I've been wasting 
       D             C 
what's left of these days 
             Em 
These days I feel with 
       Bm             Em D 
a cold heart It's easier 
           C 
to keep it hard Just 
D 
grab your shit and 
Em             C 
meet me in the yard

Bridge: 
Em         C 
  Lollipop dreams and 
          G 
candycane waves 
                    D 
Are gonna hurt like hell 
                   Em 
when they crumble away 
                    C 
Because a beautiful youth 
                    G 
hurts worst when it dies 
           D 
A rotten reminder of the 
          C 
days we decided we'd rather 
                     Em 
go big and then rot away 
               D 
We'd give into love 
                 C 
and wind up castaways 
We said "fuck all the old 
                     Em 
boring shits we've become" 
                  D 
So we hoarded our dreams 
                   C 
and we burnt every one 
    D             Em 
And fuck me man I knew 
             C 
not what I'd done 
D              Em 
Fuck us man we knew 
              C 
not what we'd done 
Em             D 
Fuck us man we knew 
              C 
not what we'd done 
D 
Man we were just 
            G  D/F# 
having some fun
